Correctional Officers Graduate from Tennessee Correction Academy in Tullahoma

After weeks of training, the Tennessee Department of Corrections (TDOC) welcomed a new class of Correctional Officers into the workforce on Friday. The Tennessee Correction Academy in Tullahoma graduated 59 people from their Basic Correctional Officers Training program.
Shannon Green, Assistant Warden at Bledsoe County Correctional Complex gave the keynote address. Green took the time to encourage the new officers by reminding them to not give up, never stop learning and to honor the Tennessee Department of Correction’s oath.
Several officers were honored with special awards and one even received a college scholarship. The graduation is one of many set to take place throughout the rest of the year as TDOC continues to employee and empower officers as they build a career in corrections.
